I was having humidity issues so I made a humid hide and she wanted nothing to do with it. My humidity issue is all under control now so I don't need it anymore but I still find it odd that she dislikes it so much. If I set her on it she moves off of it and will look out at me like WTF, why would you do that!?

The moss is not really necessary anymore but I think its strange. Anyone else have that same issue?

I wonder if its how I prepare it? all I do is soak it in warm water for a bit then wring it out and put it in. Its not soaking wet and its not dry. (I tried putting dry stuff in there just to see if she just didn't like it wet and she still hates it lol
When my first BP was about to have her shed, I put damp moss in her home and she wanted nothing to do it.
As you said wherever I put it you would always find her as far from it as possible.

I bought a huge, thick cellulose sponge, soak it and put it in a plastic container with water on the bottom, too and that really jacks up the humdity for shedding.

It's worked great except for my male Pastel.

When his belly went pink, he started soaking in his water bowl a lot and had a crappy shed because of it, in spite of me keeping his ambient hum. 70+% for the whole process.

The next time he goes pink, I'm removing his big bowl and giving him something with enough water to drink but not soak in.

[I figured he knew what he was doing but I guess not].....
